Although this is a four-reason list, Christmas is about joy, warmth and sharing. We know you're excited (or slightly curious) to know what we think the jolly season is about, but before you read up, put on your coziest holiday pyjamas, open your favourite music app and play Michael Bublé's It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas. All set?
Alright! Now, allow us to list down the reasons that we think make this season even more special than it is.

It’s An Excuse to Feel Optimistic
We’re sure you’ve seen the phrase “tis the season to be jolly" before and, honestly, we think it's the phrase that fully captures the essence of the holidays. Every year, when Christmas is just around the corner, our moods are considerably lifted!
It truly is the one time a year where everything can make us happy, from capturing moments next to our Christmas trees to watching a typical New York Christmas movie. Simply magical, right?

Christmas Lights & Christmas Carols
One thing that makes us fall in love with season over and over again is its beauty. Yeah that's it and, sometimes, we think that's enough on its own.
What especially grabs our attentions through sher beauty are the Christmas lights decking the malls, venues, homes, and all sorts of public spaces. As we pass by these decorations, we can literally hear the bells jingle!

Gatherings
Have you started trying to set a up a gathering with your friends or family yet? If so, you should start because this season is your chance to ACTUALLY see each other.
Christmas just isn't the same without our loved ones and it's one of the reasons why we love it. Whether it's a cozy gathering at someone's home, or outside at some elegant restaurant, these gatherings aren't to be missed.

VACATION TIME!
Sing your heart out to Christmas carols, and sigh as you begin a much-earned vacation! Yes, that's right one of the things we love most about Christmas is that its vacation season.
Sure, Egypt doesn't take Christmas off, but that doesn't mean YOU can't clear up your busy schedule. Plan your own quality time, through a hotel stay-cation or even a weekend getaway somewhere. If you can't leave home, then just pamper yourself there!
Pour yourself a cup of something hot, enjoy the merriment, and wrap up your year on an optimistic note! This was one tough year, we know, but we hope next year will bring us more joy. Fingers crossed!
